The Judiciary Police (PJ) announced yesterday the arrest of a man from the mainland on Tuesday on suspicion of cheating a pawnshop out of 100,000 patacas with a fake watch.
A PJ spokesperson said at a regular press conference that an employee of the pawnshop reported the case to the police in March. The 32-year-old suspect, surnamed Jian, was reportedly a businessman.
The spokesperson said that after Jian pawned the watch, the staff member discovered after checking properly that the watch was a so-called “replica” of a branded deluxe watch.
